Hitchhiker Kit
Shall We Knit?
Garter stitch. It's simple, its warm and squishy, stretchy and reversible and it makes any variegated, hand-dyed sockyarn really shine. So here's Hitchhiker: It is a narrow, slightly asymmetrically shaped triangular shawlette that can be wrapped around the neck several times. The ends are long enough to tie it with a knot. One of the short sides of the triangle features a saw-tooth border that evolves naturally during the knitting and gives the shawl its unusual shape. Because the knitting starts at one end, you can stop anytime, bind off and end up with a useful neckerchief, shawlette or shawl. A perfect project to relax in between more complicated ones, also very suitable for beginners and young knitters.
Our kit includes a skein of Hedgehog Sock and one of Alpaca Boucle and the pattern. Our shop sample was knit with both yarns together so you might up your needle size just a bit depending on your gauge.
